Brothersoft Analyzed Pros and Cons of the Anticipating iPhone 4

Brothersoft, a leading software download portal, publishes its analysis on iPhone 4 including its new features and defects.

 

Xicheng, Beijing -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/25/2010 -- On June 7th, Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled a thinner slicker new iPhone at the company's annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. Two days before iPhone 4 to launch on the market, Brothersoft, a leading software download portal, publishes its analysis on iPhone 4 including its new features and defects.

In accordance with Apple’s constant eidos, Apple designers and engineers didn’t start with a clean sheet of paper when creating iPhone 4. They started with three years of experience designing and building the phones that redefined what a phone can do. iPhone 4 is the result of everything they’ve learned so far. And it’s all contained in a beautiful enclosure a mere 9.3 millimeters thin, making iPhone 4 the world’s thinnest smartphone. However, every coin has two sides, iPhone 4 is not faultless without any exception.

iPhone 4 is the "thinnest smartphone on the planet" with 9.3mm thick, 24% thinner than the iPhone 3GS. The frame of the iPhone 4 is made of stainless steel, instead of the plastic that rimmed previous iPhone models. Apple's all-new "Retina Display," which the new iPhone 4 will run on its 3.5-inch, 960x640 pixels screen. The iPhone's Retina Display features 326 pixels per inch (four times as many as the iPhone 3GS) and an 800:1 contrast ratio (also four times greater than the iPhone 3GS). The iPhone 4 will feature two cameras--one front-facing camera and another on the back of the device. Apple has increased the camera size from 3 to 5 megapixels. When most people increase the megapixels, they make the pixel sensors smaller. Apple kept them the same size so they capture more photons and the new camera also features 5x digital zoom, tap to focus, and LED flash. iPhone 4 will feature video calling through an app called "FaceTime." FaceTime will run exclusively on WiFi for now, and only between iPhone 4 devices. The phone will last longer with its bigger battery and its A4 chip. Apple promises 7 hours of 3G talk time, 6 hours of browsing on 3G (or 10 hours of browsing on WiFi), 10 hours of video, 40 hours of music, and 300 hours of standby. Another exciting news is that iPhone 4 will go on sale in the US for $199 (16GB version) or $299 (32GB model). The iPhone 3GS will see its pricetag lowered to $99.

Accompany with its new advantages, the iPhone 4 still need improved. The iPhone 4 will still not support Adobe's Flash platform, which means that Flash content anywhere on the web--everything from videos on Hulu and ESPN to interactive ads to Flash-based websites--will be inaccessible on the iPhone 4. It is a loss for users. FaceTime, which allows users to video chat phone-to-phone, is one of the most highly-touted new features of the iPhone 4. While it's an attractive tool, it has a major limiting factor: video calls can only be placed iPhone 4 to iPhone 4, which means there's no "face-to face" chatting with friends that have older versions of Apple's smartphone. PC Mag's reviewer also noted that Facetime "isn't as sharp as I expected," while CNET remarked "the quality won't blow you away." Apple's newest operating system, iOS 4, offers some major perks (i.e. multitasking), but it has a potential privacy issue as well: it automatically collects and shares the exact location of any user with an iPhone running iOS 4. If you're eligible for an upgrade, or a new user switching to AT&T, the iPhone will cost you $199 (for 16GB) and $299 (for 32GB). If you aren't eligible for an upgrade, switching early to the new iPhone will require you to shell out $399 and $499, for the 16 and 32GB models respectively. Buy the phone without a contract and it'll cost you even more: $599 and $699 for 16 and 32GB versions.
